Notes:

Publishers: Warner Bros. Music - Tracks A1 to B2, B3a (Harry's House), B4, B5 Carlin Music - Track B3b (Centerpiece) Nimbus Supercut audiophile limited edition pressing mastered from original source tapes limited edition available by mail-order only for readers of 'Practical Hi-Fi and 'Hi-Fi Today' magazine. Nimbus mastered each release from the original master tapes using the best available mastering processes, employing many techniques for each release that were not commonly used. For example, generally when bass moves from channel to channel on an LP, groove modulation is employed to reduce the movement of the stylus and this results in this bass being centered more over both channels. Most audiophiles would argue that this - and in fact anything, which changes the original recording should be avoided although this is common practice on most LPs. On Nimbus Supercuts the bass can move from channel to channel, Nimbus did not limit this, resulting in an outstanding pressing. Nimbus also had the ICI company produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction. Gerald Reynolds, the owner of Nimbus record company, said to the English magazine Hi-Fi News & Record Review (July, 2010): "One of the hi-fi magazines in the 1970s, Practical Hi-Fi did a wonderful job in getting the original master tapes for LPs, from artists like Supertramp and Joan Armatrading and we cut and pressed them as supercuts. Although we archived one of everything, we did not keep stocks - which is a real pity because they now change hands at hundreds of pounds a time".
